Did anyone see the rather obscure news item re: Chrysler and NASCAR? Seems
that Chrysler Corp. had a vote(decision) scheduled on this past Monday (the
first day of the new Group) whether to continue to fund the NASCAR racing
effort. I don't know if they had the vote, or not, there is no info
regarding it.

It seems a bit queer to me that with the future of MOPAR hanging by a
thread, Kurt should, driving a Dodge, win rather handily on the Sunday
before the critical vote on Monday. I also harken back to the popular win by
Harvick within days after Earnhardt Sr's death. That was a Hollywood ending
and at the time very controversial. I seem to remember that this is the only
win for Dodge this season, is it not? How timely!

Also, notice, incidentally, that Bush and Earnhardt are scrambling for the
12th spot in the "playoff". Since there seems to be no other hotly contested
position in the top 12, would it not seem strange that the only excitement
would be the first and second place cars? This is too, too, coincidental
for my taste. Maybe Stewart was right, if the WWE is killed by steroids,
then NASCAR can step up and take its place in fantasy land for us Good Ole
Boys.

Quick correction. This is the second win for Dodge this year, the
first coming at Sonoma with Montoya. That *was* a COT race, making
this the first old car win, but that's really just trivia. A win is a
win is a win, regardless of body style.

Well, it may have been punishment for Rusty (the teardown), but teardowns
are always "in front of all to see".
